The Ministry of Interior said that while the vehicle was undergoing customs inspection, R.E. started the car and pushed and dragged a customs official for several metres. He then fled in the direction of Skopje.

Following the intervention of the Intervention Police Unit, the BMW was stopped on “Adriatic Highway” Street, where the suspect was arrested.

“During a search of the area, a bag containing marijuana was found, while a pocket knife was found in the vehicle. R.E. also stated that during his escape he had thrown away a bag containing two pistols,” the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The 24-year-old was taken to a police station, and once the incident has been fully clarified and documented, the appropriate criminal complaint will be filed against him.

According to him, this is a positive development, as the project carries particular importance for infrastructure links between the Republic of Kosovo and North Macedonia.

Basha said that “This segment constitutes the continuation of an important regional corridor and marks a significant step toward completing one of the most strategic transport routes in the region. The implementation of this investment will facilitate the movement of citizens and goods, strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries, and create new opportunities for development, investment, and regional integration.”

He also expressed hope that the works will proceed according to plan and that the project will be completed within the envisaged deadlines, so that this modern connection can serve the citizens of both countries.

“Infrastructure knows no borders, therefore every investment that increases regional connectivity brings citizens closer together, strengthens our economies, and contributes to a more developed and more integrated region,” Basha added.
